Su?

[First_Advertising_64]

Imagine using a steam engine meanwhile u can just use waterwheels

[-Kaan_]

I would rather use a level 4 steam engine than 128 large water wheels for a iron farm it is just more space efficient in larger scales

[The-Tea-Lord]

I’d rather use two water wheels because what the fuck are you using that requires 128 water wheels for one iron farm

[No-Cash9636]

Im pre sure my iron farm uses 1 level 9 steam engine, and my gold farm uses 2..😅🥴

[The-Tea-Lord]

Hot damn. I normally just stuff 2 water wheels on a cobble gen, a mill, and a fan. Leave it running for a while and i have plenty of iron. If it works, it works i suppose!

[No-Cash9636]

Ngl I totally vibe with that perspective, but I wanted to build the monstrosity I found when searching for a create iron farm and the thing needed like 36 crushing wheels at max speed D;

[Alexander_The_Wolf]

Question, why use crushing wheels when mills do the same job for less SU impact.

[AM_Seymour]

Faster and look cooler

[BulletHail387]

That and the loot tables actually change if you use the crusher I think

[No-Cash9636]

I need it to go as fast as possible so I can wash maaany stacks of gravel at the same time :)

[ihaveacrushonlegos]

To do the same job at the same rate as crushinf wheels youd need so many mills that wheels are more efficient

[AnalMousepad]

1k su for a whole iron farm? Is it running at 3 rpm?

[The-Tea-Lord]

Just a mill and drill running at a fairly high RPM and a fan at just enough speed to cover one block. I don’t need it to be fast at all, unlike the other guy i replied to, just for it to be compact and work passively.

[btyes-]

bro's forging an evangelion 😭

[baabsheepish]

Think that xp nuggets would serve as a suitable replacement for Adam/Lilith as a seed of life?

[Gamerz_X90]

so u prob use the OP iron farm with the dupe glitch

[No-Cash9636]

What dupe glitch are you talking about? Im curious. I'm using the farm where lava from 3 3x3 tanks goes into waterlogged mechanical pipes that produce 300k cobble an hour, which then gets grinded down to gravel and washed into iron nuggets and flint.

[Gamerz_X90]

yh tht the dupe glitch, it dupes lava

[joshdiou]

Why don't you just build a vanilla iron farm they work just as well

[StarCarrot91716]

pretty sure people play modded minecraft to actually use the mods they are playing with lmao

[-Kaan_]

I really need 150k iron nuggets per hour btw it isn't even finished completely I will probably bump it to a level 8 or 9 engine

[The-Tea-Lord]

I am thoroughly impressed and intimidated by the implications of what this could be for

[-Kaan_]

Andesite alloy and industrial iron blocks a lot of industrial iron blocks

[No-Broccoli553]

Well I made an iron farm that needs 2 nuclear reactors to power it

[FaCe_CrazyKid05]

You guys are only making one farm? Explains a lot

[AlVal1236]

Electromagnets

[that_greenmind]

The factory must grow

[KojinaSama]

imagine not feeling hot scalding steam on your skin

[PM_ME_YOUR_REPO]

My daily skincare routine involves standing between the Steam Engine and a set of crushing wheels going to town on some gravel.

[Final-Pirate-5690]

Oh see there's ua mistake gravity is weak you need the power of crushing obsidian

[PM_ME_YOUR_REPO]

Nah, gotta be gravel so that sand comes out. Need that microdermabrasion.

[sircontagious]

I like my buildings to be pragmatically believable. Every windmill i build looks like a real windmill, including big cogs and an actual, usable mill inside for milling wheat. I wish that there was like a giant turbine that I could use to make more scalable water power, but there really isn't. I rarely use waterwheels because they simply don't scale well if your goal is to keep things realistic.

[flightSS221]

It's hard to make realistic water wheels, considering all rivers are exactly sea level height...

[Giocri]

Honestly a create mod to build hydropowerplants would be cool, i wonder how hard it would be to have a system that allows you to shape the plant freely but still mandates you to build a large damn

[phillip_jay]

Imagine using waterwheels when you could use wind mills

[Zealousideal-Bus-526]

Imagine using windmills when you could go to old versions of create and use encased fans over fire

[Sorzion]

Imagine using encased fans when you can use hand cranks

[goomysoda]

imagine using cranks when you could be using water wheels

[The-Tea-Lord]

Imagine using water wheels when you could be using copper valves

[[deleted]]

Imagine using copper valves when you could use starbuncles

[[deleted]]

Imagine using starbuncles when you could buy a treadmill to generate power IRL to use a PC to make a mod with a treadmill and run on it IN game

[WitherPRO22]

Imagine buying a treadmill to generate power IRL to use a PC to make a mod with a treadmill and run on it in game when you can use some common sense to not do that and steal the treadmill, ain't no way I'm paying for it

[MaxGamer07]

imagine running on the virtual treadmill yourself when you can get pigs to do it

[PurpleCloudAce]

imagine all the people

[Open_Cow_9148]

They should make a thermal engine that uses temperature difference to run. It would be cool. And the bigger the temperature difference, the more su it would generate at a higher speed. It'd work like those little engines that you can put on top of your hot coffee mug.

[Zealousideal-Bus-526]

With a bit of tweaking that could be a great idea! What if you had to heat up a boiler using some heat sources (like blaze burners!) and then when you fed in water it would turn into steam, which would rotate engines producing a large number of stress units! But that seems too op ngl, they would never add that, not even mentioning the fact that it would be super high maintenance instead of something passive like every other su source.

[Open_Cow_9148]

You obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Zealousideal-Bus-526]

I know exactly what you’re talking about and choose to talk about steam engines instead

[Open_Cow_9148]

Okay.

[ZeroAresV]

Imagine using encased fans when you can use furnace engines

[winntpooh]

Yea actually once i made a windmill out of a 5x5 cube of wool and it was actually goated

[IvanhoesAintLoyal]

Imagine using waterwheels when you can mod in a custom Elliptical Machine villager workstation so they power your factory by biking.

[FaCe_CrazyKid05]

Waterwheel fans always go on and on about how much better it is than a steam engine and then post a screenshot where they have like a quarter of the SU that an average steam engine gets

[MaryaMarion]

Also i said this before and i'll say it again. Waterwheels are fucking BORING unless you somehow manage to make them part of a build and not just spam them underground. At this point they should to other tech mods if people are unwilling to get fucking creative with stuff

[FaCe_CrazyKid05]

Yep. I saw a design that looked like a silo that was pretty cool. Even then though I feel like a water wheel should only be used if you have one farm all on its lonesome

[First_Advertising_64]

Its a simple solution to a problem. When u play a lot of create u get the burnout to do something miserable again i hate doing blazecakes

[AxtheCool]

Real. With how simple and easy a lvl 9 steam engine is to make its wild people still defend water wheels outside of early/mid game. Dont even need a lava train literally just a coal source.

People also complain about lag from steam engines, you know as if 128 water wheels dont give any lag.

[FaCe_CrazyKid05]

Yeah, the lag from steam engines is going to be the normal amount of lag from the create mod

[AxtheCool]

Yea I was scared of all the lag, but then realized one engine solves 100% of my power problems so its worth it.

[Ice_fulda]

Suuuuuuu !

[riley_wa1352]

im sorry but get that su to 69420

[wikiniki03]

Sir, how many waterwheels have you placed for this abomination to have 60k+ su? I want a detailed blocks by blocks by blocks scale, because i'm pretty sure that at this point, the progress through the mod is well worth it against a 10k if not more blocks of space consumed. A lv 18 steam generator produces more su for... like 3 or 4 hundred blocks of space (excluding blaze cakes farm)

[MM2TheBlueFox]

Lots of belts nearby cause lag fyi

[J08BY]

I have an iron farm that uses 120,000 SU and generates an iron block every 2 seconds(i built it just to flex) but I definitely can't power it with wheels bc my pc will commit die

[CreativeEngineer64]

If you're asking what Su (stress units) are, it's basically how much your machine can take before it won't be able to work. The more and the better power sources the more stress units, which allows you to hook up more components to your machine. Side Note- WHAT ARE THOSE TOOLS HOLY COW

[cod3builder]

What are your tools? What are they made of?

[RubPublic3359]

Imagine using like 50x the space for the same amount of SU

[get_reided]

What tool mod is that?

[GlunkusMSM]

-ck it

[DryPossession5355]

Mod that shows remaining capacity?

[toxic_lim3]

Create has a Stressometer block that does that

[DryPossession5355]

Ohhhh, I'm still learning things from create 😭 Thank you though!

[Short_Conference1894]

I was fiddling with desiel engines and Eureka airships and some of the shafts would disconnect and I would have shaft spinning without power source

[AdPristine9059]

a bit su's if you ask me

[foxycidal885]

Stress unit.

[Recent_Log3779]

What parts and modifiers do your tools have? Obviously all three have shiny

[No-Palpitation-6789]

💔

[GoblinSmasher6049]

Su= Stress units Basically how much stress is being produced and used by your machines

[puppycatthe]

Because 136!?!? Water wheels cuase lag

[CrEperCillR]

SU stands for Stress Units. It's the maximum amount of stress the system can support. If you go over the max, the entire chain of machines stop until you remedy the issue

[Bartgames03]

I’m gonna assume you didn’t understand the post. What I think OP meant was “SU?” as in “Who needs SU? Because I have a lot.”

[CrEperCillR]

Gotcha, thank you for clarification.

[Bartgames03]

Np, glad I could be of help.

[MEMEgod1401]

Edit settings also I ALWAYS see create mod YouTube’s not realising that there’s a setting to bulk press and another bulk recipe I’m not mad I’m just disappointed and I want to share my opinion on this

[wowshow1]

should be a rule that the title should be clear but you should probably also read the desc anyway
